Our partner KickStart named among “Top 100 Best NGOs”!

Last month, our partners at KickStart were listed in Forbe’s Impact 30.

We’re proud to announce them as a top NGO again — but this time in the renowned publication The Global Journal as one of the “Top 100 Best NGOs In The World.” It is the first international NGO ranking of its kind, seeking to honor top organizations that exhibit “the power of a great idea, well-executed.”

KickStart was cited for “changing the way the world fights poverty by bringing together the transformative power of technology, the entrepreneurial spirit of the impoverished, and the sustainability of the marketplace and private sector.”

To support the amazing efforts of KickStart or to learn more about how they’re using technology and entrepreneurship to help eliminate poverty in Africa, visit The Adventure Project’s Hunger Program.

Click the above title to read the full article!

Myth #1: Social entrepreneurs have it easy. Customers will buy their products just because the company represents a great cause.

Myth #2: Social entrepreneurs don’t need to worry much about bottom-line financial results. As long as the business can survive and fill some social function, that’s good enough.

Myth #3: Starting a social enterprise requires minimal investment.

Myth #4: Social entrepreneurs can (and should) quit fund-raising and rely on earned income alone.

Myth #5: Scaling to a national level should be the goal of every social entrepreneur.
